Nutrition

Did you know that you have an estimated 10 trillion cells in your body? They are the building blocks of your body and are the smallest part capable of processes that define life. They are so tiny – you would need about 40 to stretch across the size of a full-stop, yet they are vital for human life.

The cells are responsible for:

Processing nutrients

Converting food into energy

Building your body’s structures

Carrying out specialised functions

Good health or bad health is often determined by the health of your cells. All health starts at a cellular level and any disease can exist at this level years before you experience any symptoms. Because your cells need nutrients, nutritional deficiency can lead to disease. We are often told about Recommended Daily Amounts. What we are not told is that this is the absolute minimum that the body needs. This does not account for environmental or emotional stressors you may be suffering which deplete nutrients more quickly. In addition, due to farming methods, and how we store and cook foods, your food is simply not as nutritious as it was years ago.

Some people are lucky enough to mistreat their bodies and get to live a long life. But your health is not something you want to pay Russian Roulette with. When you support your cells nutritionally, you protect yourself.

To perform their function well, they need specific nutrients so that they are recognised by other body cells as friend rather than foe. When cells see each other as an enemy, this can cause autoimmune disorders such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus:

Amino acids which are derived from proteins

Essential fatty acids

Healthy carbohydrates

Vitamins

Minerals

Trace elements

Antioxidants to protect them from free radicals

Water

It is also helpful for cellular health to:

Exercise regularly

Manage negative stress

When your cells do not receive the nutrients they need, they become unhealthy and cannot communicate their messages to each other. This leads to disease over time including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and cancer.

When you are ill, conventional medicine will treat symptoms rather than causes and the medication offered may affect other body systems and create side effects which require yet further medication.

By taking care of yourself naturally, you are taking preventative action and helping your body to heal itself when you do have a health challenge.

So, eat healthily and make sure you use good quality supplements (food state) so that your body can absorb them, rather than the synthetic ones more easily found in the High Street. As someone once said, there is no greater wealth than health. For a health consultation contact Tricia Woolfrey on 0845 130 0854.
